Scientific paper

Qualitative considerations of mass and particle "loading" in plasma-neutral gas interaction are made by the help of a one-dimensional steady model. In the case of particle "loading" the plasma flow behind a strong shock is accelerated as in the case of mass "loading" regarded by Biermann et al. (1967) whereas behind a weak shock the flow is decelerated. As an example, one-dimensional time-dependent flows with ionization of the neutral gas by Alfvén's critical velocity effect are calculated. Because of the acceleration of the subsonic flow by "loading" processes, the existence of a tangential discontinuity in the flow around comets seems questionable.
